I feel so lucky and so blessed...conference was wonderful and it always is but i just love that i can be reminded of the things most important and how i can improve. i love that everybody in my family is to the point where conference is really important to them and means
a lot to them. like really we all get excited and take notes ...something that i love that my parents do and its something i want to do with my kids is after conference we all sit together and share things we loved about conference. its kind of funny cause we all get excited and go on and on and
don't want to stop sharing..like we want to talk about all the talks that we liked so we
don't even give everyone a fair chance. something that i loved that we brought up tonight as a family was the talk by
Elaine s. Dalton and how she spoke to fathers raising daughters and how important it is for a man to love his wife and show his daughter how special she is to him. this made me reflect on my dad and how lucky i am to have a dad who really loves my mom and shows it always. we knew to always talk to our mom with respect and if we
didn't we would hear it from dad. they have always made it a priority to take time to spend with each other and go on dates. I started thinking about how important that one thing is. Like i look at people once they have kids sometimes they put their kids first and its important to take care of
Ur kids and
nurture them and raise them but i just started thinking like about how its important to always make
Ur spouse feel loved and important and help them know their #1 to you. this was good for me to reflect on before
I'm married so i really can think about whats important to me and what i want. as we told my told how grateful we were for his example he got tearing eyed and it was just a sweet experience. he told us that we should want nothing less then a man who loves us and that the reason why their marriage was the way it was, was because they always put god first and because of the gospel. I cant wait to be able to have my own husband one day who will take time to love me, and be a good example to my future children. i could go on and on about conference just because i loved it so very much. i would have to say my favorite session was sat afternoon and my favorite talk would have to be
Neil L. Anderson's..he spoke about families and how their ordained of god and having children. this was special to me
probably cause i really cant wait for kids and its something i have always wanted. As i listened to this talk i reflected on what a sacred calling it is to be a mother and how important it is to have children in the lords time instead of
Ur timing. he talked about how the world
suggests to delay having children and how the worlds ranks it below college, the gym, a job. but just how important it really is, its a calling not a hobby. I loved that. I am a person that stresses and sometimes i think i
couldn't have kids if my husband
didn't have a good job or if we were not set. but this talk
really made me realize its all about putting our trust in god and how much happier we will be if we do things his way instead of our way. we will be so much better off and so much more happy. I really cant wait to be a mother when heavenly father reveals to me its the right time. =)...i guess it would be a good thing to be married first too..ha ha...1 thing at a time, but i think its good to think about..ha ha...
like i said i
could go on and on but i think ill leave it at that and just say how grateful i am to have heard what i did.
I'm grateful for conference and the strength it gives me to face the world and try a little harder to be a little better each and everyday, cause if were not progressing were
digressing.
What friday after work i had the chance to go to the L.A. county fair. I havent been since before my mission so it has been a few years. We didnt have much time to walk around but none the less it was really fun to spend time with my sisters (minus manda =(...) and just have a good time together. I love watching mom at work there cause it just seems like she has a good time and enjoys herself. She was nice enough to go early with my sisters since i couldnt get off work until later and stand in line to see if we could get tickets to the concert that night. so a few weeks ago caitie asked me if i wanted to go with her to see leann rimes perform. I was all excited. I remember as a child always liking to sing. I have never really been that good at it but i always enjoyed it in the privacy of my home...so i had a little karoke machine and leann rimes was one of those singers i always loved to sing to for some reason. So I love her cause she brings back fun memories. ha ha...anyways they ended up getting the tickets for free. i was all excited...once i met up with them we ate together and there was a wierd like 5 minute pouring down rain storm..ha ha..it was so random. so the concert ended up being really fun and we even got to see kelly pickler before. it was really fun im glad we got to spend some time together as sisters. =)
